Code Jumper Resources

The Code Jumper curriculum has been designed for teachers with little experience in computer science or coding, allowing you to quickly gain the skills to teach your students coding. Each lesson has step-by-step instructions for all activities. Many of the materials are included in the lessons, and those that need to be created by teachers have clear and simple instructions. Key vocabulary words are defined, and links are provided to outside resources for further understanding.

Code Jumper has the unique opportunity to teach coding in a multi-modal way that plays to the strengths to many teachers in a creative way using songs, poems, stories, and more!

The Code Jumper curriculum includes:

Code Jumper Puzzles

Join CJ, a cat-like alien from planet Jumpiter, as they adventure across eight new and exciting puzzles to learn more about Earth. The adventures incorporate coding activities such as: algorithms, loops, sequences, constants, and more. Each puzzle is free and available in accessible PDF, BRF, and audio files.

APH developed these student-focused “choose your own adventure” type of puzzles so that users can use them independently, with little instructor intervention.
